Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen For StyleMint

Hi,

This is the second time that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen designed a collection for StyleMint. But this time they will launch on the 1st of November (tomorrow) a very cheap jewellery collection. Which we're very excited about! Mary-Kate and Ashley have collaborated with a lot of brands already. But there collections were always very expensive. This time they won't sell anything above € 31,00. We're so happy that we're finally able to buy something of them.

Asos' French Fries Gloves

Hi,

Almost winter, so almost time for gloves again! And today we spotted a really funny pair on Asos. They have a french frie-print and they only cost €11.37

Since the collection Moschino presented on the Fashion Week in Milan these fast food-prints have been a huge trend. It was a very funny collection wich was inspired on McDonalds and food packages.



Also the IPhone cases with this typical french frie print are really a trend. It started with the one from Moschino in the picture above, but also cheaper brands have copied it yet.

All Different Types Of Curls And How To Make Them

Hi,

We recently found some really helpfull tutorials on WeHeartIt that show you how to make all different types of curls.















We're not really fans of using heat on your hair, but we think it's okay when you don't use it too often. For those who really don't want to use curling or straightening irons, we have some tutorials for no-heat curls (made with one braid, two braids, snake braids, a headband and a twisted braid).

Hi,

Today we're going to show you the latest sport outfits celebrities were wearing. It's always nice to get some outfit inspiration by celebrities. And it's sometimes very hard to find the right sportwear. It looks almost always ugly. But here you can see it doesn't always need to be ugly:

Alexa Chung

Diane Kruger

Jennifer Lopez

Karlie Kloss

Alessandra Ambrosio

Rosie Huntington - Whiteley

As you can see most of them went for black and grey colors. Except Alessandra Ambrosio, who is rocking a lot of colors.

The New Label Of Beyoncé and Topshop

Hi,

Great news! Beyoncé and Topshop will collaborate for a new fashion label! They'll focus on atletic streetwear and they'll sell clothing, shoes and accessories. Beyoncé already has a done a lot in the fashion-industry, like collaborating with Tommy Hilfinger and H&M, but she's never had her own label. So it was about time! :)
Sportswear must be big bussiness lately, because also Alexander Wang and H&M collaborated on a line of sportswear (that'll soon be for sale).
The collections of the new brand from Beyoncé and Topshop will be for sale online but there will also be shops from this new label. Unfortunately they're first collection will only be ready in the autumn of 2015... It's a long time for us to wait, but for them there's still an awful lot of work to do. the brand hasn't even got a name yet! But we trust in them to get it done by then and still create something beautiful :)

Spotted: Lily Aldridge

Hi,

Today we spotted Lilly Aldridge, a model with a great sense for fashion, in this amazing outfit! She's dressed very casual, yet also very chic.

It's time to wear coats again and a black coat is really a classic. Everyone should have at least one :) And we just adore the one Lily Aldridge has! It's a bit oversized and, just as last year, oversized coats are totally in fashion.
Also her boots are so beautiful! Over-knee boots are always a bit daring, but she managed to combine them perfectly.
The only thing that kind of bothers us is her bag. It's a very pretty bag, but we think she should have picked a black bag for this outfit. Two colors of leather in one outfit is never a good idea...

Catrice Lash Boost

Hi,

Like we said before Maia has really thin, light, short eye-lashes (almost non-existant actually :p). So with normal mascara she still hasn't very pretty, voluminous eye-lashes. That's why she's always looking for new mascara's and other things to make her eye-lashes look perfect.
Last time she went shopping she found this great Lash Boost from Catrice.



As you can read on the bottle it's not a real mascara, but fibre lash extensions.
Maia never used fibre lash extensions before, so she actually can't compare it with other brands.. But anyway she can tell you this is really a great product. It makes your eye-lashes way longer, almost false looking. It wasn't expencive either, even cheaper than when you'd buy normal mascara.



It's very easy to use and it's all explained on the bottle. As you see, you just have to apply it over your mascara and then apply a second layer of mascara on top of it. It also doesn't take long to apply, wich makes it way better than fake-lashes.

How To Always Look Put Together

Hi,

Now school has started again we're always in a hurry in the morning. Of course it's important to look as close to perfect as possible, but that's hard when you don't have a lot of time.
Luckily Evelina, one of our favorite Youtubers, made a video on how to always look put together. There are aways these people who seem to always have it together and thanks to the great tips she gave in her video, we can all be one of them now :)



The only note we have on this video is that her curls don't look very natural. She looks great, be we think she'd look perfect if her curls looked more real. We made a couple of posts about no-heat curls (made with one braid, two braids, snake braids, a headband and a twisted braid) in wich you can learn how to make more natural curls.

How To Prevent Weak Nails In The Winter

Hi,

The colder weather can make your nails very weak. So you better prevent it before all your nails start to break! Femke always has these weak nail-moments, which she finds very frustrating. But last month when her nails were starting to get weak and break, she finally was able to make them strong again. So today she will share her tips with you.

When you get the feeling your nails are getting weaker or just when the weather is getting colder, you'd better have a nailpolish-free week. In this nailpolish-free week you are going to give your nails the maximum hydration possible and of course the time to heal. Start your week by cutting all your nails till you have no sharp edges or sharp gaps. This will prevent them to break again. You may have to cut them short or have a funny shape, but this is the only way you can make your nails stronger again! That's why you better have this week before your nails are actually getting weaker, because then you don't have to cut them. Next you should use a handcream daily and really massage it into the nails. To make your nails even more hydrated you should put some Labello on them after the handcream and again massage it into the nails. It may sound weird, but this really makes a difference.

And that's it! After this week you would have very strong and healthy nails again. If you're scared that your nails are getting weak again, you can do this little routine once a week.

Hi,

Halloween's coming! :D
Many people aren't fond of wearing costumes and fancy make-up, but we think everyone should do something a bit special on Halloween :) So for those who don't like to dress up, here is the perfect solution: nail art! It's simple, not too eye-catching, but still funny and a nice detail.
We searched for inspiration on WeHeartIt and this is what we found:

The Suitcase of Ted Baker

Hi,

You have to admit that this one of the prettiest suitcases you have ever seen! It's of the brand 'Ted Baker', which is known for there beautiful and chic floral prints. This suitcase is also available in black, but we prefer this mint blue. You can get it in 3 different sizes, as you can see on the picture above. Ted Baker is a high end brand, so these suitcases are on the pricey side. But the biggest suitcase is still under the € 400, so it's not too overpriced. The inside is also gorgeous, here it is:



This suitcase is definitely on of wishlist and probably on yours too now. ;)

The Ultimate Hair Brush Guide

Hi,

Having the right hair brush is really important. Once we made a post in wich we said you should always use a hair brush made out of natural hairs instead of metal. This helps to prevent getting split ends. But beside the material your hair brush is made of, the shape is equally important. It can make your hair smoother or give more volume or even prevent staticness. So before you grab your curler or sraightener (wich are incredibly bad for your hair), you should first look if you can solve your hair issues with the right brush.
We know that in the picture above there are still some metal brushes, but we're pretty sure you can find them made out of natural hairs or plastic too. And even if you don't, it'll always be better than using heat on your hair.

She's dressed really basic in black, with her scarf as a cute detail to brighten up her outfit.
We love this kind of scarf-poncho-things, wich are a huge trend at the moment. The one Ola's wearing is from Burberry. But soon there will probably also be cheaper one's for sale :D
This outfit is very easy to recreate. You just have to find the right scarf :)

Dr Martens

Hi,

Now that the weather is getting colder we wanted to give our favourite shoe brand, Dr Martens, some love. Dr Martens are a bit more expensive, but so much worth the money, because it's made of such a good quality. They are a huge trend, so you should definitely get yourself a pair. Just like we did last year, we're going to show you our top 5 favourite Dr Martens of this season. Well actually there isn't really a new collection like last year, so we will just show you our favourites at this moment:

Our number 1 is going to be these shiny red ones. We just love the color of these. They cost € 129,95.

Aww, how cute are these floral printed ones? We put them on our second place. They are a bit more on the pricey side though... They cost € 169,95.

On the third place we have these other floral printed ones. And don't they just screem autumn to you? They cost € 145,00.

On our fourth place we have these beautiful white ones. Even though these are probably very hard to keep nice and white, we still think they look amazing. They cost € 129,95.

On the last place we have these ones. Who are, we know, again just in a color. But we found this color perfect for autumn. And they're actually a bit lower than the normal Dr Martens boots. So that makes them that thiny bit more special. They cost € 149,95.
